They barely respect us now, the respect comes when we beat teams we NEED to beat to get to the Superbowl (Phi, SF etc). Beating down the cards does nothing in the long run, we better win though lol. Please give your thoughts...
I disagree. The Cardinals are a professional football team who have players on their team that are paid millions to play in the best football league in the world.
The NFL.
Players and coaches in this league have said many times that it is hard to win games in this league. Beating the 49ers and Eagles will be awesome, but unless you win the other games, it doesn't matter.
With that said, who cares about respect? No team has ever won anything based on how they were respected.
People can put a narrative or excuse on any win or loss anyway. Most times we beat good teams, there was always some built in excuses as to why we won.
See the Buccaneers playoff win last season..... so who cares about respect. We only care about wins.
